Sunday Sunday.

Today is Father’s Day. Those who forgot to wish their dad, or worse did not post on their Instagram feed some old photos with their father, no need to worry. Just switch off the fan and light after leaving the room, there is no greater gift to a middle-class Indian dad than this. My dad just had a chill day, he binge- watched a show on Netflix, was moody the whole day, ate half of my snickers bar from the freezer and reminded me to exercise. Yep, my dad has morphed into my millennial clone. All that is left, is to sulk in a corner with the phone, order a pizza and complain about the wine.

A tribute to why I love my father on Father’s Day is a bit too cliched for me. Hence, I will share the picture of a waterfall we visited in Shillong on our last trip together. It was a long day, marred with occasional rain showers and long winding hill roads. Wei Sawdong was our last stop for the day before it became too dark to enjoy the natural beauty of Shillong. As tired as I was, the path to the waterfall was steep, with no handrails, slippery owing to the drizzle before and well I was in no mood to fall in the mud and break my bones. So, I opted out and advised my father that it was too risky. My dad is an adventure seeking, relentless traveler and encouraged me that the view will be worth the short hike. And it was! Wei Sawdong is perhaps the most beautiful waterfall; I have seen in my life. In that moment, I hoped that as I grow older, I never lose my curiosity and passion for travel, and look forward to the thrill of experiencing a thing of beauty.

Most of us are very familiar with the infamous Mayan calendar. It was wrongly read in 2012, and experts now claim 21 June 2020, to be the doomsday. It was also the solar eclipse today, and many parts of the world witnesses the ‘Ring of Fire’. My mother did ask me to not eat anything till noon. If it is the last day on earth, there was no way I was going to miss breakfast. Well, the day is almost over, and as far as my doomsday movie PhD goes, there were no sudden deluges, cracks in the earth, no meteor shower and the US President and the Pope did not send out a video as a farewell message. And John Cusack did not save my life to fall in love with me forever. So, yeah, a moderate Sunday.

If you avoided washing utensils today thinking the world is going to end tomorrow, may the force be with you my friend. A mountain of unwashed utensils waits for you in the kitchen. Twitter is flooded with memes and trolls where people are making fun of this prediction. C’mon give the poor Mayan guy a break. Maybe he was working on the calendar and got a message from his boss, “Need this asap. Kindly do the needful.” The guy says, “Fuck it” and just ends the calendar where he stopped, submitted his work, and went about his life. And who would notice really, he thought. We have all been there, right?

As Netizens kept me occupied with their sadistic doomsday humor, I wondered maybe it is the end of the world. A world full of hate, misogyny, crime and the hopelessness of the pandemic. Maybe this world will end today and tomorrow we will all go back to a coronavirus free world, full of positive thoughts and hope. Well, that is just my wishful thinking.

My feed was filled with long messages about the usefulness of Yoga and all about inner balance, mindfulness and related things. While most of my friends did post nice pictures of yoga asanas on account of World Yoga Day, the only thing I managed to stretch today was my imagination. Does wearing yoga pants to watch a re-run of The Sopranos count?  Maybe, I will have a green tea before bed for inner cleansing and what not. Breathe out, and Namaste!

Cherrapunjee, India

Our first stop in India's off-the-beaten-track northeast...

The first living root bridge!

Same bridge, different angle

Passing through a picturesque tribal village to get to the next root bridge

Traversing another root bridge...

And then, once you're almost getting immune to how freaking cool the root bridges are, you come to the 💥DOUBLE DECKER ROOT BRIDGE!💥🤯

After all the root bridge fun, we continued trekking through the jungle to arrive at an insanely beautiful waterfall...no big deal

Rainbow falls

A bit too cold for me to swim but not for this guy!

Wei Sawdong falls

After a shockingly easy border crossing back into India (always a nice surprise when such things go smoothly in places like this), we made our way to Cherrapunjee, a beautiful town in the mountains that is [in]famous for being the wettest place on earth. We decided to go there because we wanted to spend a few days in nature, something that we feel we haven't done enough of on this trip. As it turns out, we made the right choice: Cherrapunjee is beautiful!! It's a small, quiet town in the mountains surrounded by deep jungle valleys, rivers and an abundance of waterfalls. It is also famous for its living root bridges, which are exactly what they sound like - bridges made out of tree roots. We spent our first day hiking through a valley, passing through quaint Khasi tribal villages to get to different root bridges, including the pièce de resistance, the Double Decker root bridge. We then continued onward to Rainbow falls, a waterfall of which neither of us had seen photos, which is good because it meant that we were blown away when we turned the corner and saw it. Totally worth the full-day hike, it might just be one of the most beautiful waterfalls that I've ever seen! Reluctantly, we left to hike back up the valley and proceeded to hike up 1000m of rock "steps" with minimal rests because the sun was setting rapidly - I almost died but somehow we made it to the top of the valley right around the time it got reeeally dark and I am happy to report that I am now able to move without pain, 5 days later!

On our second day in Cherrapunjee, we got to experience "the wettest place on earth" in action and as we were literally IN a cloud and visibility was pretty much non-existent, the day was essentially a write-off. Still, our guesthouse owner let us borrow his scooter (locally referred to as a "scooty") and we had fun scooty-ing around the countryside. Thankfully, the next day was sunny and we got to check out a couple additional waterfalls that we weren't able to see the day before, including the beautiful Wei Sawdong falls.

It feels good to be back in India!
